265. The Exchange Fund achieved record-breaking performance last year, delivering an investment income of $330 billion. As at the end of last year, the total value of assets under the Exchange Fund exceeded $4.1 trillion, which would suffice to maintain monetary and financial stability in Hong Kong. On the premise that the Exchange Fund's function to maintain the stability and integrity of the local monetary and financial systems will not be compromised, I propose, under the Exchange Fund Ordinance, transferring $75 billion in each of the coming two financial years, totalling $150 billion, from the Exchange Fund to the Capital Works Reserve Fund in support of the NM and other infrastructure projects.
Paul Chan has proposed taking HK$150 billion from the Exchange Fund, which is used to keep the US dollar peg within the 7.75-7.85 trading band, and transferring it to Northern Metropolis infrastructure projects.
It would be the first such withdrawal since 1984
